My biggest issue with Fuji was her never asking to go potty, she'd just look at you (when you weren't looking at her) then trot off to pee on the floor because you didn't take her out.

I trained my dogs to ring a bell mounted on the wall near the door.
Take them out regularly, with the whole "go pee" verbalizations and happy dancing upon elimination thing, and bop their nose against the bell on the way out.

Good morning, Cafe, and thanks for the coffee. @DobieLover , good luck with the puppy. 'Crate training' has been my go to with all puppies.

Alien tape

That is a new one on me. Double sided sticky tape huh?

'Crate training' has been my go to with all puppies.

Her crate training started at the breeder. She'll be crate trained here and either kept in her puppy pen with her crate for sleeping that I set up, will be tied to me with a leash or on my lap. NO free rein of the house until she is fully grown and fully potty trained.
She needs to have her ears taped. They are flopping over at the tips. I found many references to using breathe right strips to hold the ears up along with massaging to break up the scar tissue along the incision. I'll probably forego the tape and only use the strips so that the massaging can be done and the ears can remain open to the air to prevent any yeast infections.
Last night (I didn't open the email until this morning) the breeder sent me a picture of her coat. She is losing her coat on her back and it looks terrible. She does not like she did in all her videos. The breeders vet wants to blame the grain free diet because she said that is the "only" difference between her and her littermates. The other difference is she is chocolate and the rest are black, but neither color is dilute so I doubt it's alopecia.
I'm going to get her on a raw diet with Omega 3 added via ground super seed as soon as possible and rub her down with organic coconut oil regularly and see if all that helps. And obviously discuss it with the vet at her check up this Friday.

Good morning Cafe Pugs was trapped in the computer room then take him out 20 time a day..
Kept him in a x pen outside. Best was neutering.

DL, I wanted to do a sad face reaction, but I love how much you care about her and your dogs, so I did a heart instead.

She'll be okay. Now I do feel like I'm doing a rescue! I think she needs me!!
